PAINTING CABINETS + GARAGE UPDATES | GARAGE MAKEOVER pt 3

[@monymony68]

Maybe build a shed on the sides of your house to store bulky items such as the bikes, lawn mower etc?

[@marilynbates5939]

Consider building a bike shed that could double as garden storage. Window boxes would be cute and would disguise its utility functions.!

[@conniesisco6468]

Love the new intro!

[@tinamcelyea5972]

Since you're so handy, you can make a wood sports equipment holder, whatever these are called. I've seen the balls being held in by bungee cords, and they run from floor to ceiling if you need it for that many balls. I don't know how I ran across your videos so long ago, but I have really enjoyed them. 😅

[@kimmead3683]

Glidden has fabulous porch & floor paint, if you plan to do the floor. I used it for my garage 4 years ago and it still look great.

[@linnyross5958]

Agree

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Awesome!

[@FLbby301]

Love how you rolled over the electrical panel 😅 something I would do too but many will roast people like us for doing that 😂

[@4everyoung24]

I like how it makes it just disappear into the wall.

[@galady8632]

In my mind painting includes at least 75% prep work/clean-up and 25% actual painting. But it's instant gratification. I prefer a bright garage. Lighter paint and good illumination helps me maintain productivity. (Plus I have old eyes.) I hope to be moving by Spring. The first areas to be painted will be the basement and unfinished areas of the basement. Bright White everywhere then storage added. No personal items on-site until that is finished. It just makes sense. Otherwise those ptojects become twice as challenging and often never occur. (One house I am considering has an attached 2 car garage, detached 3 car garage and a basement! My mind is swimming with ideas!) This video is very inspirational. Thx Kelsey!

[@cyndij8312]

It's looking fantastic! I'm sure you're really going to enjoy the miter saw stand.

[@4everyoung24]

I thought that was such a good idea!

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

No more cutting on the ground!

[@quinndiemer]

I think you could encase the fridge with a cabinet surround for even more storage and prettiness. Definitely paint the floor or spruce it up a bit and maybe do the back door in the grey? Or paint it that lighter green like the garage door! All that said-this looks AMAZING. I can’t wait to do this type of cabinet in my new garage (and add drywall 😂)

[@kathygann7632]

You could have paid for the smallest can of paint, and had them add color so when you poured it into your left over paint, it would have been the color you wanted. I also like to have something hang from the ceiling to show me how far to drive my car in to park. You could have placed the extension cords on the ceiling for that purpose. Also, I have bike hangers that use pullers to hold the bicycles up near the ceiling so I can park the bikes under them. I have a minute garage!

[@tinamcelyea5972]

I love LED lights in the garage and the retractable cord. We have ours next to our air compressor. The only thing I wish I had was a sander connected to my air compressor 😢 I borrowed one, and wow, what a huge difference in projects.

[@lucillelee741]

Hi. Love your channel. Maybe paint the garage floor and storage over the fridge. I think the garage looks amazing. You are a very hard working, talented lady!!!!!

[@lindaroyal8161]

It's looking really good! I like the paint color, nice choice; It goes good with the back door. Suggestion - what about a couple of panels to disguise the hot water heater. Can make them removable for any service that may be needed or a couple of hinged doors. Would finish off that corner and a place to hang or display any additional items.

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Kelsey, been watching every video. The gagrahe is looking FANTASTIC!! It will look like a FRESH YT studio when completed. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!

[@TRISHGable-z4j]

Those door pulls really made the entire project pop. Looks terrific.

[@edithbright2931]

Couldn't wait for this week's video, everything is looking organized. It would be interesting to see what you are going to do with the floor. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@reniehandler2595]

You’re doing a beautiful job! You’ll be proud to leave your garage door open from now on! ❤

[@heathertodd7165]

The garage is coming along nicely. I love the shelving you built. I have a love of painting as well, but a whole room and cabinets would probably be a lot for me as well. Looking forward to seeing what is next!

[@alee9961]

What a transformation! Great looking garage already. 😊

[@theresaevans7523]

You could build a box around your fridge and put a closed cabinet above it.

[@danielwagoner]

If the small gap around the light fixture bothers you enough you could always add a frame of 1/2” cove mold around it and caulk/paint

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

That’s a great idea! I’ll see how much sawdust it collects

[@4everyoung24]

I think the cabinets had a good amount of contrast once they dried. If I were to change anything I’d just have the bikes leaned up against the wall. They are taking up just as much space width wise but up on the hook they probably stick out more. Getting them on that hook is much more difficult than just rolling in a leaning it against the wall. And if your kids are anything like mine were, putting a bike on the hook just ain’t gonna happen. Lol It’s coming along so well! Your pegboard tool wall is my inspiration for my upcoming garage redo! Can’t wait to see the finished product.

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

🤣🤣 my kids would never hang up their bikes. The hanging ones belong to me and my husband. The kids just roll theirs right behind ours.

[@ashle130]

They also sell a reel for air compressor hose too. My Hoselink reel was a gateway drug for electrical and then the air compressor hose 😂

[@marynewell5706]

You amaze me every week! I am so inspired to try and make things in my house. Have never done it, but really want to.

[@ladikmk]

That looks great Kelsey! Love the black hardware you chose. I was looking for new kitchen cabinet hardware on Amazon and saw handles just like the ones you chose, so now I know what they look like on a lighter colour. That really helped me out.

[@tammyphillips3334]

You are doing a great job. We start our garage makeover this spring. Although I am dreading all the work it will be worth it in the end as I am sure you can relate. You keep saying it is just a garage but if you think about how much traffic a garage gets it is an important part of your beautiful home. Love your videos

[@aimokuhiga2555]

It's looking so good! I was wondering if you would be adding hardware to the cabinets. My next wonder is if you'll be adding epoxy to the floors? Not a must, but would be a nice addition. As always, great work and so inspiring 👏🏽

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Definitely adding hardware. No epoxy right now.

[@ladybugj1164]

Nice job! Do you think you would/could build a multifunctional work table on wheels

[@AnnikenKivlok1233]

Now you have a lovely place to work!!!

[@oceanforever]

Love all you do, you’re awesome, so creative ❤❤❤maybe paint the floor and back door , might make it pop ❤

[@dominiquesciglitano238]

Cabinets look great. Could you have darkened the colour a little more by adding dark grey if you had any left from your door paint

[@mariawilliams1314]

What a great looking and organized garage. 😊

[@ibmimi2566]

I have to do an overhaul on my garage, and watching your videos, I think I can do it!!

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

You can do it!

[@marydenney8249]

Great work Kelsey! Love watching your videos and learning!

[@barbstormo7030]

I think you have done an amazing job! I love the retractable extension cord hanging from the ceiling! I love how everything is looking and can't wait to see next week's progress! Have an amazing week!

[@marypucci6814]

Love how this turned out!

[@judybesse4058]

Everything looks great!!!! Good job!!!

[@karenhollingsworth5180]

Everything looks wonderful!! Love the light colors.

[@smilingvick]

Everything is looking GREAT! Thanks for sharing all your ideas.

[@lindahughes530]

Your doing fantastic job🎉🎉❤️❤️

[@Nanasews4]

Nice....lighter gray than I imagined ...but Nice!

[@donnayarbrough4137]

Another awesome video like always. If you need a fan in garage look at the ceiling fans that you just hook it on hook and plug in. We put one in our outdoor kitchen.you might like

[@zararodriguez7713]

It’s looking great❤

[@judyschmetter1878]

Your garage is really looking great!! I need to do the same thing!!

[@vickiewinfrey2439]

Looks really good great job.

[@maggiesue4825]

Will you do a treatment on the floor!

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Eventually but not right now

[@corinabecerra953]

It looks great!

[@shabbysuse7821]

Looks amazing !

[@leeannoneal4847]

It is really looking great, Kelsey! I need to get one of the retractable extension cords, it will be so handy.

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

I have used that thing so much!

[@eviegehrke3936]

You do such great work. We need to do our garage, but it's a 3 car and afraid to tackle it. Maybe be a section at a time. Enjoy your channel.

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Breaking big projects into smaller parts really helps me to not get overwhelmed.

[@patriciacotlar785]

Looking great

[@tinamcelyea5972]

One time, I mixed all the leftover paint together, which gave me a full gallon, which I painted the whole garage. The bad thing witthe color turned out as grey, and my husband said it looked like a jail cell. As if he's ever seen one, not.

[@Rodriguez0926]

Love the cabinets! One question, what size are the doors? Is each door 12in? Thank you.

[@susanleger2183]

So Impressed! Looks great! Are you making a cabinet for the golf clubs to be stored in or are they in the big cabinets by the fridge? Just curious since we have ours in our garage and would like them to be tuck away.

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

They actually got moved to a spare bedroom closet that got cleaned out too.

[@mustanghill1259]

Another stellar job. I love the light gray paint color. Can you share the paint name?

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Sherwin williams modern gray

[@veg-hb3kt]

Where is the coffee pot going to go? Enjoying this journey with you.

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

🤣 I actually don’t drink coffee

[@melissamatthews6174]

The garage is looking incredible. Mine looks like the before but about 10x worse, lol. May I ask what that blue tank on the water heater is?

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

It’s called an expansion tank and I have no idea what it does. It’s required by code where we live.

[@lynnharrell9598]

The garage makeover is looking really good. Funny thing is, this would have been very helpful before you started all of your other projects. But, isn’t that how it normally works? 😂

[@KelseyRomitoDIY]

Oh my gosh I should have done this way sooner

[@deemartinez836]

That paint is 110.00 a can, so surely use what you have.

[@MariaGonzalez-kq8fq]

👏👏👏👏💗

[@shannonromito4249]

100% wear a hat 😂😂😂
